hello @bhaskar219 , U have to provide app_id also.. it is provided to you when you register from this link below: https://www.kotaksecurities.com/itrade/user/marketing.exe?action=trade_api&req=92

Or scroll down to the bottom on this link and signup there. DO not use signup on top of the page. https://preferred.kotaksecurities.com/landing-page/api/

let me know how it worked out.

[pv-ajay-thota]

Hi, it did not work out. I still get Invalid Credentials. Do we need to base64 encode consumer_key or any other key? and where is the consumer_secret is used? I could see a settings.py. file. do we need to configure that before using it?

client = ks_api.KSTradeApi(access_token=access_token,
                           userid=userid,
                           consumer_key=consumer_key,
                           ip=ip,
                           app_id=app_id,
                           host=sandbox_env_host
                           )

all the variables are substitutes copied from this below url default application.

https://ctradeapi.kotaksecurities.com/devportal/applications/*******-****-*****-*****-*****/sandboxkeys/oauth

still I get this error.

please find the traceback.

hello @pv-ajay-thota, did you get a email from :

tradeapi@kotaksecurities.com

in that email you can find the following credentials:

Username: ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Password: |||||||||||||||||||||||||| AppId: |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

can you also share your code, so that I can check??

[VV1919]

my code:

import json
from ks_api_client import ks_api

credentials_file = open("credentials.json","r")
credentials = json.load(credentials_file)

credentials_file.close()

client = ks_api.KSTradeApi(access_token = credentials["accessToken"], userid = credentials["userID"], \
                 consumer_key = credentials["consumerKey"], ip = "127.0.0.1", app_id = credentials["appID"])

# Get session for user
client.login(password = credentials["password"])

#Generated session token
client.session_2fa(access_code = "1337") # replace 1377 with  the OTP u get when you click "generate access code" on web browser during login. its active for that whole day.

credentials.json file (insert your credentials instead of hashes)

{
    "accessToken":"#######-####-####-####-############",
    "userID": "##########",
    "password": "########",
    "consumerKey": "###################",
    "appID": "#############################"
}

Hi @VV1919 , I have received credentials from tradeapi@kotaksecurities.com.

for testing purpose, I have hardcoded string literals in the main script.

NOTE: earlier I tried with reference (opaque) token which is shown in your code example . now I have changed it to self contained JWT token in dev portal. still it didn't work.

[pv-ajay-thota]

Hi @VV1919, so I spoke to the Kotak trade API team and I got to know that I do not have access to the sandbox environment where I am trying to log in. and yeah for convenience while generating an access token we can set the expiry time to '-1' so that access_token never expires. so as of now, I can say it is resolved for me.

[VV1919]

ohh okay @pv-ajay-thota. good to know.

[bhaskar219]

So unable to proceed . Please help me how to reach you people.

[VV1919]

hello @bhaskar219, after adding the credentials from the email, you have to generate an "access token" from application portal in kotak securities api website. usually the access token is valid for 3600 seconds but if u want to get a token valid for infinite time then while generating access token provide a negative value for duration eg: -1. use the newly generated token in your code and run it. your authentication problem should be solved with this. if not you can mail me at varunvivek96@gmail.com.

[pv-ajay-thota]

Hi @pv-ajay-thota ,

How we can reach kotak trade API team , Can you share details

ks.apihelp@kotak.com

[sultanarun]

Defining the host is optional and defaults to https://tradeapi.kotaksecurities.com/apim

//This is wrong you have to explicitly give host="https://ctradeapi.kotaksecurities.com/apim" should be given explicitly. in this function call client = ks_api.KSTradeApi You guys suck

[prasadraju070]

my code:

import json
from ks_api_client import ks_api

credentials_file = open("credentials.json","r")
credentials = json.load(credentials_file)

credentials_file.close()

client = ks_api.KSTradeApi(access_token = credentials["accessToken"], userid = credentials["userID"], \
                 consumer_key = credentials["consumerKey"], ip = "127.0.0.1", app_id = credentials["appID"])

# Get session for user
client.login(password = credentials["password"])

#Generated session token
client.session_2fa(access_code = "1337") # replace 1377 with  the OTP u get when you click "generate access code" on web browser during login. its active for that whole day.

credentials.json file (insert your credentials instead of hashes)

{
    "accessToken":"#######-####-####-####-############",
    "userID": "##########",
    "password": "########",
    "consumerKey": "###################",
    "appID": "#############################"
}

WHERE CAN I find the app id i cant find it anywhere
